What should piss you off more is that not only will you lose your money you've paid in, but you (and other taxpayers) will eventually have to repay the money that was stolen from the Social Security "Trust Fund" for general spending purposes, and stuffed with IOU's (treasury bills) backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government -- meaning us.

There is no Social Security "Trust Fund." Money the government steals under the guise of Social Security goes into the general fund. Social Security checks are taken from the general fund. So it would be unwise to think because you are paying into SS you are someday going to get SS paychecks yourself.
